The comment solution I use here at CostPerNews is called Disqus. It’s fantastic and the best of both worlds for building a community out of your commenters.
Today, Disqus is announcing a new funding round and a slew of new (and very cool) features that enhances the platform:
Disqus Blog » Disqus releases Beta 2 – New features, lots of bug fixes, improved performance: “Bloggers are some of the most opinionated and vocal people out there. So when creating a product for bloggers, expect them to significantly shape the thing every step of the way.
Disqus is very much such a product. Late last week, we release what we dubbed Beta 2. That’s the label we’re giving to one of the biggest Disqus updates in a long time. And credit goes to you, wonderful Disqus user, for all the help in improving your favorite discussion service.”
So what’s new?
For one the forum look-and-feel is gone and replaced by very nice “Community Pages.” Everything is much more coherently organized and easier to browse. You can see the CPN Comments Page here for an example.
Disqus is also making it easier for commenters to create their own profiles and add social networks like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn to that profile fairly easily. Since the crowd here tends to be the same commenters, this could be a neat feature for this particular blog and help you get some traffic to your other social networking spaces. That profile travels with you to other blogs that use Disqus.
There’s lots of additional goodness on the backend for blog owners that I won’t bore you with, but it’s easier to configure the look and feel of the place and easier to bake in the Disqus comments into the originating blog.
For example, the biggest request I had was for a “Recent Comments” widget that would display new comments here on the blog that were reflective of the forum. That’s baked in now, thank goodness.
So, if you’re a blogger and looking for something to spice the place up and bring in extra functionality for your readers and commenters, I highly suggest Disqus.
I just added disqus on my blog. Looking forward to checking it out and see what it's all about.
I admire to your writing
It's version 2 now right?
Disqus was the first I tried and so far it’s been pretty amazing: Using the disqus wordpress plugin you can actually import all of your existing wordpress comments into it and it keeps both sides in sync, so comments made through disqus also get added to your wordpress database. Also it looks like it would be pretty easy to back out without losing comments if I find something wrong with Disqus – sweet

What's even better is that Disqus has a discussion board, aside from its other important features that allows a better interaction for bloggers and their respective commentators.
Disqus is really great,but base from my observation. It is not compatible with firefox 3.5, I mean most of the time my blog hang up.
